International Conference Collective Agency in Classical and Continental Philosophy

Philosophers often treat individuals as the sole agents of social action. Yet recent philosophical debates show that groups can form intentions, obligations, and actions that exceed what any individual member can do alone. This conference invites a fresh look at collective agency by bringing classical and continental philosophical traditions into conversation with analytic approaches. By connecting thinkers from phenomenology, hermeneutics, personalism, ancient and medieval philosophy, political theory, and analytic philosophy, we aim to open new perspectives on collective intentionality, action, and identity.
